Montreal Art Therapy

The association des art-therapeutes du Quebec (AATQ) (2005) defines art therapy as a psychotherapeutic process which utilizes clients’ visual and spoken expressions and reflections. Art therapy has been used as a tool with a wide variety of different populations and environments (Di Maria, 1982). The AATQ states that art therapy can be used to support people of any age and background and with diverse emotional, physical, and intellectual issues and can be seen in health services, corporate, educational and community settings. During an art therapy session, a therapist and a client work together, collaboratively, in order to facilitate the client in self-expression. One of the benefits of art therapy is that it allows thoughts and feelings to be articulated in images as well as words, but while art making is central to the therapy, clients do not need to have any specialized training or abilities in order to utilize and benefit from it (www.aatq.org).
